Bollywood actress Mallika Sherawat suffered the same fate as Hollywood reality star Kim Kardashian when she was reportedly tear gassed and beaten up by three masked intruders in her Paris apartment

The actress, who has been carving her niche in international cinema, was not the only one who was attacked. Her boyfriend, Cyrille Auxenfans, was also apparently assaulted. Grapevine suggest that the attackers then ran away, leaving a shocked Ms Sherawat and her friend to call the emergency services.

Currently a criminal investigation is underway, where detectives are working on the theory that the assailants were attempting a robbery.

France, that is still under a state of emergency after the terrorist attack, is suffering greatly because of the increasing violence that has seen tourist numbers plummeting.
